Constraining Greenhouse Gas Exchange Processes Using Remote Sensing and In Situ Observations
Constraining Greenhouse Gas Exchange Processes Using Remote Sensing and In Situ Observations
Session ID#: 247567
Session Description:
The relationship between atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) measurements and surface carbon, energy and water fluxes, is fundamental to predicting their future evolution in a changing climate. This session focuses on modeling frameworks (top-down and bottom-up) that investigate GHG exchange processes using observational platforms such as, localized surface networks and aircraft campaigns, active and passive remote-sensing missions. We invite contributions on: 1) estimation of GHG budgets and reconciliation between different modeling frameworks; 2) assessment of the response of carbon cycle to extreme events and disturbances; 3) innovative use of remote sensing (e.g. SIF), isotopes, & novel atmospheric tracers (e.g. CO, carbonyl sulfide, APO) to improve mechanistic understanding, 4) examination of the role of errors (e.g. atmospheric transport) on estimated fluxes and associated GHG budgets; and 5) Observing System Simulation Experiments targeting the optimization of observing systems required to advance our understanding of the carbon cycle and carbon-climate feedbacks.
